I was driving to a comedy show slightly after the worst of the weather, and all I saw along the way were candles in windows. It felt very old timey, especially the trees strewn every which way in the road. That's a straight 1700s callback, yo! I felt like Paul Revere driving through the town trying to warn the colonials about their impending modernization (I believe in creative liberty and justice for all!).
The point is, my daddums left me a message on my voicemail (that I listened to on the way back from the show) that went a little like this:
Hey dude, the power is still out so get something to eat before you come home. There is a flashlight that you can use when you get home but call me first because you're not going to be able to find it because it's dark here. In fact, you're probably not going to be able to do much of anything.
(I would like to imagine he left this message by candlelight while stitching his own version of the U.S. flag.)

The significant otro and I got coffee this morning. That's right; the boyfie is debuting on the internetwork. You will learn more about him as life continues, as it is wont to do. Anyway, he requested the coffee to be super sweet. And guess what? The coffee was super sweet. We got customer served. In fact, I've been semi-irresponsibly nursing it since this morningtide. It's so sweet that it's hard to even talk about it without rubbing my tongue over my teeth to make sure they're not decaying faster than the half-life of uranium isotopes (giggle, snort). I might add water, which is a first for my coffee-related endeavors.
In sad news, I made one of the worst lunches ever today. Probably in my top five worst lunch choices of my life (and that includes string cheese salad). I will spare the details. But hot tomato soup and cold tofu? No.
